If the WRC is rare, then the CR/RC must be rare too, personally i don't think they are that rare, with 5000 being made it's hardly that rare, i know a fair few will have been written off by now, but not rare by the Sunchaser/Avon standards

Probably mostly the early Gen guys Mister C has a Celica Sunchaser which is pretty rare, similar to ORC's Avon but is basically a Gen 2 vert

I was about to say, they look fine without a centre cap, until you showed your drive shaft sticking out the end I can't help but think that a big disc covering the lot would look a bit naff, might be best looking at something like the standard Gen 7 centre caps or Hilux ones and making some sort of adapter to make them fit over the driveshaft I just did a similar thing with my ST170 wheels, they had a horrible centre cap, so i got rid and managed to find a bung that filled the centre hole perfectly, luckily the drive shaft wasn't sitting proud though

Stick up a photo of the wheels, someone might be able to think up another solution

Depends what wheels you have got, if you are using standard Mr T wheels you will need to stick with the standard flat seated style nuts, if you have aftermarket wheels then look for some steel M12x1.5 60 degree taper nuts

I had the exact same tuner ones on my 5, had them on for 12 months with the wheels on and off every few months for a clean, and did one track day Never had a problem with them at all The only nuts i would be worried about id aluminium ones, there is very little chance in sheering steel nuts unless you use a 10 foot breaker bar Yes, this x1,000,000

If the bottom end has gone then your engine will have very limited life till it goes pop, or rather just grinds to a halt, but if it has gone you won't save the engine by not driving on it, it will just gradually get worse What sort of rattle is it, high pitch, metallic, low knocking noise, is it speed or revs related Very difficult to diagnose over an internet forum to be fair

Hmmm, rattling under load can be an indication of bottom end failure, i know that is what the symptoms of mine were, i hope that is not the case though
